HW-group Damocles2 2404

The HW-group Damocles2 2404 is a professional I/O device with 24 digital inputs and 4 relay outputs, designed for data centers, telecom sites, industrial facilities, and building automation. Its advanced protocols and secure integration make it a reliable solution for remote monitoring, alarm management, and external system control.

Supporting standards like SNMPv3, MQTT, HTTPS, Modbus/TCP, and XML, the Damocles2 2404 integrates seamlessly into SCADA, IoT, and IT management environments. SensDesk and HWg-cloud portals enable centralized alarm handling, long-term reporting, and graphical data analysis.

Technical Features

• 24 digital inputs (DI) for dry contact sensors (e.g. doors, smoke, alarms)
• 4 relay outputs (DO, NO/NC, 50 V/1 A) for external equipment
• Up to 8 Virtual Outputs (VDO) for LAN-based box-to-box communication
• Datalogger for 250,000+ events with HWg-PDMS/Excel export
• Protocols: SNMPv3, MQTT, HTTPS, Modbus/TCP, XML, HWg-Push
• Ethernet: RJ45 10/100 BASE-T for easy network integration
• Alarming via email (5 parallel recipients), SNMP traps, SMS/voice (via gateway)
• Power: 9–30 V DC, PoE IEEE 802.3af, or –48 V Telco
• Temperature range: –30 °C to +85 °C
• Robust metal housing, 100 × 94 × 25 mm, wall/DIN-rail mount

Monitoring & Automation

With 24 inputs, the Damocles2 2404 integrates external sensors such as door switches, smoke detectors, or other alarm contacts. Four relay outputs enable direct control of ventilation, security systems, or shutdown circuits. This makes it a strong platform for automation and safety integration.

IoT & SCADA Integration

With native SNMPv3, MQTT, HTTPS, Modbus/TCP, and XML, the device integrates effortlessly into SCADA, NMS, and IoT environments. Virtual outputs allow M2M interaction with other Damocles2 or Poseidon2 units, enabling flexible chain reactions and automation without additional control systems.

Logging & Reporting

The internal datalogger captures 250,000+ inputs/events. Data is exportable with HWg-PDMS and Excel for compliance, audits, or long-term trend analysis, meeting enterprise documentation standards.

Alarm Management

• Email notifications to up to five recipients simultaneously
• SNMP traps for IT/NMS integration
• SMS/voice via HWg Gateways (SMS-GW3, HWg-Trigger)
• Relay activation for automatic system responses

Application Areas

• Data centers – door, smoke, and alarm contact integration
• Telecom – base station and equipment room supervision
• Industry – machine and sensor integration for automation
• Building automation – access, HVAC, or security integration
• IoT projects – MQTT cloud/edge integration capability

Central Management

Through SensDesk Portal, all Damocles2 devices can be managed together, providing long-term reports, PDF exports, and centralized alarm management. Events from one unit can automatically trigger outputs on another through VDO functions.

Variants

• Damocles2 2404: Base unit with 24 DIs and 4 relay outputs
• Damocles2 2404 Set: Includes PSU (12 V, 1 A), CD, and documentation

Conclusion

The HW-group Damocles2 2404 is a scalable I/O monitoring solution with 24 inputs and 4 relay outputs, supporting modern protocols and robust alarm features. Its integration into IoT, IT, and SCADA systems, combined with secure communication, makes it a future-proof device for data centers, telecoms, industry, and smart building projects.
